Roma Heritage: Gilda Lakatos

roma heritage: On Thursday, the order was rescinded, according to CTV. Gilda Lakatos, 17, arrived in Canada in June 2011 along with her mother Katalin Lakatos and her brother and father. The Canada Border Services Agency told the Lakatos family on July 28 that they had to leave the country by Aug. 11. The family claimed asylum on the grounds that they had faced racist police and healthcare providers in Hungary due to their Roma heritage. They refused to leave, but last March the father and brother were sent back to Hungary. The family was denied asylum and ordered deported last October. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
